I'm Black And I Want Racism To End IMMEDIATELY!

For those who didn't know, Lebron James's house in Los Angeles got vandalized with a racial slur on his gate by an unknown person on Wednesday morning. On the same day, Lebron informed the media about the incident and said, “No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough, and we’ve got a long way to go for us as a society and us as African Americans until we feel equal in America.”

Here's my message to my people:

We need to fight racism; it's getting outrageous. The only way to end it is to stand up, educate ourselves, protest or talk to anyone that you trust. Racism can happen to anyone, including Caucasians, African Americans, Spanish, Asians, etc. I've experienced racism before. I've been called the N word too many times by non-black people, and last year, I had a “friend” who tried to pull a MLK prank on me. He tried to deny it, but I believed his BS. I didn't mean to believe it, because I was being soft. Although I will talk to him face to face in the future.

If someone tries to be racist to you, stay away from that person or stand up for yourself and educate them. Our terrible president Donald Trump won't do anything, besides playing golf, talk about the travel ban, etc. That's why we need to team up and end racism without that clown.

Few days ago, I was talking to one of my coworkers, who is Caucasian, about racism in this country. He told me he’s been racially profiled by a lot of white people and police officers because he's bald and has tattoos on his right arm. They thought he was an Aryan. I felt bad for him. Also, racial profiling is one of the biggest problems in America right now. On the news, you see a lot of innocent black people get shot and killed by police officers, because of their race color. Or a Muslim guy getting kicked out of a Delta plane, because he was speaking in a different language. One of the passengers thought he was going to bomb the Delta plane, when really, he was just speaking to his mother. Not all white people are racists, not all black people are thugs, not all Spanish are drug dealers, not all Muslims are terrorists. Therefore, people need to stop racial profiling and treat others equally. That's all I have to say to all of my people.

Prayers go out to Lebron, his family and the people who are dealing with racism, including myself. I promise you that we will end racism in the future when we unite. Also, I want to share a video to my people:

And to all my friends who support Donald Trump and are racists:

I don't want to be friends with y'all anymore.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
